DrawText

[Khavoerm]

Hello,
I loaded a bitmap into my window. Now I want to draw text on that image, but there is a white rectangle where my text is written. Is there a way to just draw letters whitout the white rectangle? If no, how can I change the color of the white rectangle? I'm using DrawTextEx to draw my text but anyother function should do.

There is some way to set the text background to transparent, but I forgot how.

Ok that's right I discovered how to do it. Just had to SetBkMode to transparent... But now I would like to know how I could change the size of the text I draw.

Just use CreateFont to make the font. This function will return the font which you then select into a DC.

Example:

HFONT hFont = CreateFont(30, 15, 0, 0, FW_BOLD, 0, 0, 0, ANSI_CHARSET,
                     OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS, CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS, DEFAULT_QUALITY,
                     DEFAULT_PITCH | FF_ROMAN, "Arial" );

SelectObject(SomeDC, hFont); 

You can use SetTextColor to change the font color too.
